Last night I went to a supper for missionaries organised by the Central church of the Assemblies of God in Guatemala city. There were loads of people there - lots of missionaries - in various stages of being sent or returning - most of them supported in one way or another by the central church - as well as lots of people who were involved in missions committees, intercessory prayer groups and financial supporters. The vast majority were Guatemalan, and were missionaries to other nations (India, Spain....) and to unreached and rural communities within Guatemala. There was also a group of young people from the church who were planting a church in a community outside of the city which has no other evangelical witness. I was really inspired to see such a church so enthusiastic about missions, and successfully teaching and involving their own young people in missions on their doorstep.
(The food wasn't bad either!!)
